Matariki

On Monday, Mr Langley taught us about Matariki. Following that he taught us a few sentences structures to help with our writing. 

Here is an example of my writing.

Matariki is the name given to a cluster of seven stars. This occurs on the last few days of May, around the shortest day of the year. Remarkably, the appearance of the stars signifies the beginning of a New Year. While Matariki is in the sky, people gather and preserve crops. Celebrating Matariki gathers people of young and old generation to reflect on the past and plan for the future.
